Many services on the same port (VirtualHost)
by Hugo 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello all! Does anyone knows a way to make many services listening on the same port? I've got one stunnel4 server which allows me to crypt two http servers. The first service bind on port 465 and the second on 470. What I will is to let user access on the port 465 using 2 different ServerNames. Thank you in anticipation, and excuse me for my quite bad english =D

It's what I wanted to do: redirect the public 443 port on the correct local stunnel "accept:" port or service. I'd set 3 services with 3 different certificates on 3 ports. By eg, my first domain is ssl.example.com and the second admin.example.com. These two records point on the same IP. Stunnel has two services on that, so it binds two ports (!=443) (eg, 7100 and 7200) Is there a way to stunnel (or another program) bind on port 443 and, if user connects on ssl.example.com, forward frames/respond using the service/port 7100, and the same for admin.example.com on 7200? https://ssl.example.com ==> https://ssl.example.com:7100 https://admin.example.com ==>https://admin.example.com:7200 ?

I am not sure what you are trying to do. You want clients to connect via https to ports 465 on two different IPs and then stunnel to forward them to the appropriate http daemon? I am not sure if stunnel works in that method - that is the reverse of what I use stunnel for - I connect via an unencrypted connection, and forward via stunnel to an encrypted daemon. And if you are talking about virtually hosting https connections, that will work, as long as the certificate contains both servernames - you can't use two different certificates, because you don't know which certificate to serve until after the connection is encrypted.

Thanks for the answer, but it seems I haven't got access to IPTables (my stunnel is on a remote shell service) and I think using a webserver is not a good solution for that case. So does anyone knows a program able to bind on a single port, and redirect requests on another depending on the domain name?

I can compile and run it without problems with just the two *eay32 dlls. And we've finally figured out the other bug, where it works on my computer, and not on someone else's. It has to do with ipv6 support, and it didn't go away even after I ./config --disable-ipv6, which that flag is (mostly?) ignored in the windows builds, due to the dynamic LoadLibrary calls. On one computer, stunnel connects on the ipv6 port, but then when running "telnet localhost 7000", it connects via the ipv4 port, and so fails. If we force stunnel to use ipv4 by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, everything works fine. My guess is that his computer is partially/incorrectly configured for ipv6, and so that is the reason for the failure. I'm planning on removing the LoadLibrary calls to force ipv6 to be off, though it'd be nice to not do that, since someday, there will be an ipv6-only network that we'll have to deal with presumably. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being to understand other people's behavior.

openssl cross compiling for windows
by Jon Daley 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

I am trying to compile openssl and stunnel for Win32, using my Debian host. openssl compilation: ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared no-zlib && make The only problem I'm having is that libssl32.dll is not being created. I have the other libssl* files: libssl.a libssl.dll.a libssl.pc So, then I download the precompiled dlls of openssl from here: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html But, they require an additional vc redistributable, and since it seems like I'm so close, it'd be nice to finish it off the rest of the way. stunnel compiles fine pointing it at the openssl directory, but on run-time, it complains that libssl32.dll can't be found. Thanks. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ There are no traffic jams when you go the extra mile. -- Anonymous

Stunnel dropping data on binary uploads from most browsers.
by Bill Crowell 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

All, I'm hoping that someone can assist with this. I'm using Stunnel on 2 different systems: Mac and FC 13 to front-end my web server for a custom database system. It works flawlessly except for uploading large binary files. The problem comes when trying to upload say a 2.5MB image file. The number of bytes actually transferred to the exec program is usually under 1K or right at about 33K. Using Firefox on Windows works all the time. I can observe the transfer by watching the stunnel.log file. When the data is piped into the openSSL engine, the number of bytes written to socket is being picked up by the exec program and processed so the loss is between the browser and the output side of Stunnel. The message itself is a multi-part message that is not mime-encoded. The part with the image is set in the boundary properly and contains the JPEG binary. (Thanks to HTTPwatch!) My Stunnel Version is: [root@linux log]# stunnel -version stunnel 4.33 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0a-fips 1 Jun 2010 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = daemon.notice pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2 session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none My configuration file on the Linux box is: cert = /etc/stunnel/server.crt key = /etc/stunnel/server.key debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log ;socket = l:SO_LINGER=1:60 ;socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = no sslVersion = SSLv3 [https] libwrap = no accept = 443 exec = /usr/qmsys/bin/qm execargs = /usr/qmsys/bin/qm -b7 -quiet -aPAVUK "P.HTTP" options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS TIMEOUTidle = 30 TIMEOUTbusy = 5 TIMEOUTclose = 0 *** A RANDOM SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER *** 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078133552]: Service https accepted FD=0 from 24.171.161.99:1998 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: Service https started 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: FD=0 in non-blocking mode 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG5[946:3078241136]: Service https accepted connection from 24.171.161.99:1998 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): before accept initialization 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 8 items in the session cache 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 client connects that finished 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 client renegotiations requested 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 35 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 35 server connects that finished 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 server renegotiations requested 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 27 session cache hits 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 external session cache hits 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 session cache misses 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: 0 session cache timeouts 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG6[946:3078241136]: SSL accepted: previous session reused 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG6[946:3078241136]: Local mode child started (PID=1179) 2010.10.15 10:03:12 LOG7[946:3078241136]: Remote FD=13 initialized 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078241136]: Socket closed on read 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL write shutdown 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078241136]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG6[946:3078241136]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG6[946:3078241136]: s_poll_wait timeout: connection close 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG5[946:3078241136]: Connection closed: 2895 bytes sent to SSL, 2469539 bytes sent to socket 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078241136]: Service https finished (0 left) 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078133552]: Cleaning up the signal pipe 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG6[946:3078133552]: Child process 1179 finished with code 0 2010.10.15 10:03:13 LOG7[946:3078133552]: Signal pipe is empty *** MOST OF THE TIME -

Recompiling Stunnel at version 4.34 appears to fix dropped data problem
by Bill Crowell 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I reported a consistent data loss from most browsers when transferring large files. Compiling version 4.34 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with the latest Xcode toolkit has resolved the connection problem for all browsers that I have tested except for Safari 5.0 on both Windows and Mac. It has also fixed a connection problem with IE 6 which was not accepting any connection to Stunnel prior to this installation. *** This problem still persists on my linux box running 4.33 installed from FC13. I will attempt a compile of 4.34 and see if this fixes the problem there as well. Fedora does not yet have a package for 4.34.

stunnel daemon mode
by Joe Williams 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

According to http://www.sans.org/reading_room/whitepapers/vpns/stunnel-ssling-internet-s… In addition, Stunnel performance is improved by running it in daemon mode instead of inetd. Running Stunnel in daemon mode provides the following benefits: no SSL initialization necessary with every connection, and SSL session caching. Is this still the case? Running in the foreground you don't get these? Thanks. -Joe Name: Joseph A. Williams Email: joe(a)joetify.com Blog: http://www.joeandmotorboat.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/williamsjoe
